HotCocoa

HotCocoa is a thin, idiomatic Ruby layer that sits above Cocoa and
other frameworks. The goal of the project is to simplify the process of creating
and configuring Cocoa objects used when building native Mac apps.

Using

Installation

From rubygems:

$ sudo macgem install hotcocoa

Or to get the bleeding edge, you can clone the repository on Github and install from there:

Documentation

The documentation currently does not cover the shipped mappings right now due to the
way that mappings are implemented; a YARD plug-in or new YARD features
will be needed (stay tuned).

Examples

Have a look in the examples folder to see some sample apps which use HotCocoa.

Contributing

HotCocoa has ambitious goals that are difficult to accomplish with the input of
only a few people. Feedback is the easiest way to contribute and goes a long way
to making sure HotCocoa is on the right path to accomplishing those goals.

There are still some APIs that need documentation, regression tests that need to
be written, and tutorials to be updated; but new features and improved performance
will also be coming in the not too distant future. If you find issues with
HotCocoa, don't hesitate to open tickets on Github (or try to fix it yourself and
send in the patch :)).

Submitting patches

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet

Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it

Fork the project

Start a feature/bugfix branch

Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.

Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.

No contribution is too small!
